Smartsheet Dashboards = Static Websites ( from the 1990's)

Mike L.

Maybe I'm missing something but I feel like working with smartsheets is a lot like building static webpages back in the 1990's*.  Works great when your scope is small but if you want to scale up you need a framework and dynamic content. 

I'm working on Dashboards and reports for more than 100 projects.  This is fast becoming a full time job.  An enhancement to a report requires 100 updates.  New reports need to be rolled out 100x and there are then 100 corresponding updates to project dashboards.  

Am I doing something wrong or is there a better way?   

*yes I'm getting old and this reference dates me but it's the same problem just a different century.

Hi Mike,

Sound like you probably need the premium add-on called Control Center. Have you looked at it?

Thanks, I'm not sure I understand what control center does from the write up.  If you know of any case studies please send me a link.  I'll also reach out to our smartsheet rep.
